10


b. Each other party hereto may request from the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall provide (to the extent readily available and consistent with its internal policies and procedures), such additional information as any other party hereto may reasonably request to evaluate in good faith the eligibility of the Purchasers to acquire the Purchased Shares or the Acquired Shares. The Purchasers acknowledge that the Company or FPAC shall file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC.

c. Each party hereto acknowledges that each of the other parties hereto will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of such party contained in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations and liabilities of each Purchaser are (i) as to itself only and (ii) several but not joint nor joint and several.

Each of the parties hereto shall consult with the other parties hereto in issuing any press release or making any other similar public statement announcing the transactions contemplated hereby and none of the parties hereto shall issue any such press release or make any other such public statement without the prior consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) of the other parties hereto, provided that such consents shall not be required if such release or other statement is required by Law, in which case the party seeking to issue such release or make such statement shall promptly provide the other parties hereto with prior notice thereof. The name or trademark of any Purchaser or any Affiliate, controlling person or investment adviser of any Purchaser may not be publicly disclosed without the prior written consent (including by e-mail) of such Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as required by Law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or other Governmental Authority or under New York Stock Exchange regulations, in which case the relevant party, as the case may be, shall provide the Purchasers with prior written notice (including by e-mail reasonably in advance) of such permitted disclosure, and shall reasonably consult with the Purchasers regarding such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the description of the Transaction after the initial announcement, the parties may announce the Purchasers’ names and their investment in the Company solely consistent with the initial press release that the Purchasers had approved, and shall provide the Purchasers with prior written notice (including by email) of any such announcement and consult with the Purchasers regarding the same.

e. The agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

f. This Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought. No failure or delay of any party hereto in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

g. This Agreement, the Transaction Documents and any other agreements executed and delivered in connection with the Transaction to which any of the parties hereto are a party, if any, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Target and FPAC shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not otherwise confer any third party beneficiary, or other rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, the Target, FPAC and their respective successors and assigns. The above recitals and introductory note are incorporated into and shall constitute part of this Agreement in all respects.

h. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

i. If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

j. The parties acknowledge and agree that each of the other parties and/or one or more of their respective direct or indirect shareholders is or may be subject to supervision or regulation by a number of regulatory bodies including, but not limited to, the SEC and any other competent governmental authority, regulator, bank examiner, self-regulatory organization or stock or securities trading exchange. The parties also acknowledge and agree that each of the other parties is prohibited from entering into transactions with any party who is specifically listed on, or owned or controlled by a person specifically listed on, any sanctions list including the OFAC List maintained by OFAC or any similar public list maintained by, or public announcement of sanctions designation made by, any of the United States government, the United Nations, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Switzerland or the respective governmental institutions and agencies of any of the foregoing and nothing in this Agreement shall require any other party to take any act, make any omission, or enter into or deliver any document, asset, security or any other action whatsoever which would cause it to be in breach of any of the foregoing.

k. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in pdf), with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

l. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

m. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

n. Any action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in any federal or state court located in New York County, New York, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action shall be effective if given as may be permitted by applicable Law, and agrees not to bring any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably

 

12


consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by giving copies thereof by hand-delivery (signature required) or air courier (signature required) to its address set forth in Section 14.r hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any manner permitted by Law, or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party hereto in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any action brought pursuant to this Section 14.n. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller hereby appoints The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, as its registered agent in the United States for service of process and further agrees that process served to such agent shall be deemed effective service of process for all purposes hereunder.

o. Each party hereto acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Company, Seller, FPAC, any Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates or any of its or their control persons, officers, directors and employees, in each case as applicable), other than the statements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each party hereto agrees that each other party hereto, its affiliates and its and their respective control persons, officers, directors or employees, as applicable, shall not be liable to any other person pursuant to any other agreement related to the private placement of the Shares for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares, except in each case for actual fraud.

p. After the Closing, during the Restricted Period (for purposes of this Section 14.p, as defined in the Shareholders Agreement), if Seller Transfers (for purposes of this Section 14.p, as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) any of its Shares to a member of its Group (for purposes of this Section 14.p, as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) as permitted by Section 4.1 of the Shareholders Agreement, then as a condition of such Transfer, Seller shall procure that such member of its Group executes a joinder agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to become a party to this Agreement and to assume and become liable for any unperformed obligations and for any liabilities of Seller hereunder on a pro rata basis with Seller based on the number of Shares held by Seller and such member of its Group following such Transfer. During the Restricted Period, this provision shall apply successively to such member of Seller’s Group with respect to subsequent Transfers of Shares by it to any other member of Seller’s Group. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 14.p shall restrict or require any action by Seller or another transferor of Shares in connection with any Transfer that is not a Transfer to a member of Seller’s Group or that is made as a step in a series of transactions for purposes of effecting a Transfer to a transferee that it not a member of Seller’s Group.

q. If after the date hereof and on or prior to the Closing Date the Company, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates amends, modifies or supplements (including via any additional agreement or side letter) any agreement or arrangement with Antfin (Hong Kong) Holding Limited (or its Affiliates that are permitted transferees) (collectively, “Antfin”) entered into on or about the date hereof with respect to the lock-up restrictions applicable to Antfin’s Shares (the “Antfin Lock-up”), (ii) the price per share paid, directly or indirectly through a contribution of Target Shares, by Antfin for Shares or registration rights, in each case that are on terms more favorable to Antfin in any material respect than the rights of the Purchasers under the Transaction Documents, then this Agreement shall, automatically and without further action on the part of any party hereto, be deemed to be amended so as to provide the Purchasers with such rights in respect of the lock-up period, price per share or registration rights as was provided to Antfin. For purposes of this Section 14.q, if the period of the Antfin Lock-up is reduced with respect to part of Antfin’s Shares, then the lock-up period applicable to the same proportion of each Purchaser’s Shares as such part of Antfin’s Shares bears to all of Antfin’s Shares to be acquired on or around the Closing Date will be reduced by the same number of days by which the period of the Antfin Lock-up was reduced.

No Offer or Solicitation

This communication is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This communication is not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, in or into, directly or indirectly, any jurisdiction in which such release, publication or distribution would be unlawful.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. When used herein, the words “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “future,” “propose” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Far Point’s or Global Blue’s management’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; the ability to meet NYSE’s listing standards following the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the proposed business combination; costs related to the proposed business combination; Global Blue’s ability to execute on its plans; Global Blue’s estimates of the size of the markets for its solutions; Global Blue’s ability to identify and integrate acquisitions; the performance and security of Global Blue’s services; potential litigation involving Far Point or Global Blue; and general economic and market conditions impacting demand for Global Blue’s services. Other factors include the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close, including due to the failure to receive required security holder approvals, or the failure of other closing conditions. Neither Far Point nor Global Blue undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Additional risks and uncertainties are identified and discussed in Far Point’s reports filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP).

Additional Information and Disclaimer

In connection with the business combination, an affiliate of Global Blue intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”), which will include a preliminary proxy statement of Far Point and a prospectus in connection with the business combination. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents will be mailed to stockholders of Far Point as of a record date to be established for voting on the business combination. Stockholders of Far Point and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus,


and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus in connection with Far Point’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting to be held to approve the business combination because these documents will contain important information about Far Point, Global Blue, and the business combination. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement and the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, by directing a request to: Far Point Acquisition Corporation, 18 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011. These documents, once available, and Far Point’s annual and other reports and proxy statements filed with the SEC can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC’s internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

Far Point, Global Blue and their respective directors, executive officers, other members of management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Far Point in connection with the business combination transaction. Stockholders of Far Point and other interested persons may obtain more information regarding the names and interests in the proposed transaction of Far Point’s directors and officers in Far Point’s filings with the SEC, including Far Point’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019. Additional information regarding the interests of such potential participants in the solicitation process will also be included in the Registration Statement (and will be included in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus) and other relevant documents when they are filed with the SEC.
